This picture is of a British graffiti artist knows as "Banksy" hanging a piece of his own art in the Metropolitan Mueseum of art. Banksy smuggled art into The Brooklyn Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, and the Museum of Natural History.
This piece:
an obvious parody of Andy Warhol's Cambell's Soup Can remained on the wall of the Met for three days before it was discovered and removed. The largest piece was 2 foot by 1.5 foot and featured a colonial era guy holding a can of spray paint. As of March 23rd, according to the Wooster Collective, only the soup can had been removed.
Banksy:
"This historic occasion has less to do with finally being embraced by the fine art establishment and is more about the judicious use of a fake beard and some high strength glue.They're good enough to be in there, so I don't see why I should wait"
